Welcome to this BONUS episode of Pattern Portraits on the occasion of Bethan Laura Wood’s solo exhibition at The Design Museum in London!
Step into the wiggle world of designer Bethan Laura Wood as she chats with Lauren Godfrey about hidden versus mirrored repeats, the similarities between kaleidoscopes and iPhones and pattern in three dimensions.
Known for her joyful and maximalist approach to design, Bethan Laura Wood has turned her hand to furniture, lighting, rugs and even handbags. Enhancing all she does with a friendly wiggle, a playful pattern and an immaculate eye for colour.
Bethan has collaborated with many companies including Hermes, Perrier-Jouet champagne and fine porcelain manufacturers, Rosenthal. She has work in collections worldwide including at the V&A and The Design Museum in London.
Bethan has chosen a veritable party of patterns including an Otomi embroidery from Mexico, a quilt from Pakistan, a book matched section of veneer made by Bethan, a vibrant Luntaya Acheik from Myanmar and a metallic zig zag pattern (origin unknown).
